best styles of dress goods and trimming.
We mention first in plain dress goods,

very soft smooth finish with rich lustre
shades. Heliotrope, navy, myrtle, and
new brown. Next is French serge in
plain colors, new brown, Terra-cotta,
Myrtle, Bronze, Heliotro De, Navy. An
other very desirable style is the plated

still be worn. In trimmings we have
every thing in braid and bead sets for
waist and Jannel, Furs, Stripes and
plain Velvets and Plush, Braids of all
styles. In fact we have so many differ
